This No Fuck's Giving, what is one thing you don't give a single fuck about?

I love the insinuation that working class people don't go to college. The people who need debt relief most are working class people who took out loans to try and go to school but had to drop out for a myriad of reasons relating to their lack of familial wealth. I know dozens of people like this, basically just as many as I know people who actually got their degree (though that's probably due to my own class position). It also describes me lol. The 2008 crisis reproletarianized a lot of "middle class" people in the US, and a lot of millennials have student debt with nothing to show for it. I can only imagine how many working people were enrolled when covid hit and will never be able to return to school. It's going to be millions.
Totally. And let's be honest, even the software/tech people making ~100k a year also generally live in the Bay Area/NYC or other cities where cost of living is stupid. I've had coworkers who lived in their cars while making $70k a year because they couldn't afford housing. Like yeah, they're making good money but are saddled with relentless student debt, health insurance, and insane cost of living.
The entirety of the working class needs huge help, which is obviously our goal, but this most recent take has really irked me. And like I said, I'm coming from a perspective as someone who grew up living with 3 families in one normal sized household, did community college/state school, dropped out of college at one point, and worked full time throughout college so I hardly have any debt. I'm still obviously 100% in favor of helping everyone even though I won't benefit. Like, imagine simping for banks this much so they keep profiting off this. :dumpster-fire:
